ENTERTAINMENTS

SELINSKY-AMADIO CONCERTS. That striking- quartet of musicians, composed of M. Selinsky, violinist; Mr. John Amadio, flautist; Mies Elsy Treweek, soprano; and Miss Jessio Masson, pianist, will draw further on their extensive reportoiro during the return soa6on, which commences to-morrow ovenine in the Town Hall Concert Chamber. It was noted on tho previous appearance of these artists, that while presenting the works of the great masters, there was a judicious selection of tho numbers which comprised each programme, nothing being played or sung which could l>o 6aid to be above tho head 3of tho people. In othor words, the programmes of these artists should not only appeal to the musically cultured, but also to those who do not claim a high standard of musical education. The excellent impression loft by this brilliant combination should greatly assist towards the success of the aproaching series of concerts. New programmes will be submitted at the second and third concerts on Monday and Tuesday evonings. The plan for tho season is now open at the Bristol. HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. More hilarity is provokod by this week's programme at His Majesty's Theatre than' by any programme for Borne time. A pantomime company headed by Victor Princo stage a humorous farce entitled "Robinson Crusoe," which will bo concluded next week. Besides this company, which occupies half of the bill, there are also Merlyn, Blake and Granby, and Phil Percival. There are also a number of other entertaining item 3 on the bill. THE KING'S.

Rider Haggard's novel, "She," in film form, will be finally screened this evening. Commencing to-morrow, the chief attraction will be a detective drama, entitled "Through tho Wall," described as "a highly-spiced dish, of sensationalism," with plot and counterplot, master criminal and clover detective. Tho picture also has its romantic and spectacular eide, and so bold and unique is the scene from whioh the picture takes its title that it is claimed to T>e a production of much' moro than average entertaining powers. ' EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. The Triangle Irish play., "The Marriage of Molly-O, will not be screened after this evening. To-morrow Billie Burke will make her second screen appearance in this city in the first story of the continued motion picture novel, "Gloria's Romance,". which was written specially for her ■ by Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Hughes. It ia anticipated that in "Gloria's Romance" the radiant "Billie" will fully sustain the popularity she attained in "Peggy.". The picture describes the youth, womanhood, and mating of the lovely daughter, of a New York millionaire. In tho opening 6cenes she is a high-spirited girl whose restleseless leads her into black trouble. Thero is a notable Triangle play on the same programme, called "Somewhere in Prance."

Tomorrow there will commence another production by tie same company, starring theolevei' young leading woman, Mollie King. In "Pate's .Boomerang" eho has the part of a little girl of tho ■ hills; who captures tho heart of the hofo, who is unfortunately married to rather a gay woman. • It is the wrongful behaviour of the wife and • her tragic puniehment which. gives to the picture its title of 'Tate's Boomerang"—destiny hits back. The production is said to be good in all respects. ■ ■■ ■ ...
